Survivors-Game Template

Infos 

Have you just started out in Godot 4? Or want to make a survivors-like, but don’t know how?
Fear not! This template will show you how to implement all important aspects of games in general and survivors-likes specifically.
Regardless of whether you want to make the next Vampire Survivors, Brotato or a completely new experience with this template all important aspects of the survivors-genre are already implemented:

• Hundreds of enemies in the scene without going below 60fps
• Collecting experience pickups
• Learning new skills comparable to Garlic and Lightning in other survivor-likes
• A well thought out code structure to easily expand every aspect of the template and make your own game with it

Install

After downloading the zip, extract its contents into your Godot 4 project directory and open said project in Godot 4. Do not just move the whole extracted folder into the project or you'll have to do some manual adjustments. 

To set up the audio buses click on the Audio tab next to the output console window. There click Load and select survivors_bus_layout.tres.

Add the AudioManager to your autoloads. Go to 
Project->Project Settings->Autoload 
and click on the folder icon. There select the audio_manager.tscn in 
code_files->autoload->audio_manager 
and click Add.

If you have blurry textures when starting the game, go to
Project->Project Settings->General->Rendering->Textures 
and select for Default Texture Filter the option "Nearest".

That's it! You can test the template by starting game.tscn in the Godot 4 editor.
Don't worry if you get a warning along the lines of
ext_resource, invalid UID: uid://??????? - using text path instead
Once you open the tdcn in question in the editor, the uid will update and the warning won't show again for said tscn.
